Overview
Join Linear as a Compliance & Trust Lead to shape our compliance program and ensure security is built into our product development process. Work remotely in North America with a focus on quality and autonomy. At Linear, we're building the product development system for teams and agents. AI is fundamentally changing how software gets built, and we’re shaping the tools this new era requires. Founded in 2019, Linear has become the platform of choice for more than 30,000 companies (including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Ramp) to plan, build, and ship their products. Today, our team is distributed across North America, Europe, and Australia, and we’re continuing to grow internationally. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and a deep care for software craftsmanship.
What you'll do
- •Operate and extend Linear's compliance program end-to-end — maintain and mature our SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and other relevant certifications (roadmap: ISO 27701, ISO 42001) while keeping audit overhead low and evidence collection as automated as possible
- •Be the primary point of contact for security questionnaires, customer trust reviews, and enterprise procurement conversations — turn what's often a bottleneck into a competitive advantage
- •Run our risk management program — identify emerging risks across the product, infrastructure, and vendor landscape, drive remediation with the right owners, and surface clear signal to leadership
- •Partner closely with engineering to embed compliance controls into how we build — shape policy and tooling so security requirements land early in the development process, not as a retrofit
- •Manage our third-party risk program — evaluate vendors and subprocessors, maintain our inventory, and ensure our supply chain meets the bar we hold ourselves to on both security and privacy
- •Help scale the GRC function with automation — reduce manual toil, build durable processes, and ensure the program grows with the business without linearly growing headcount
